The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 91

Roxanne pondered before saying, "Well, it depends."

Harrison also thought for a moment before replying, "Then I'll do my best to make you happy every day."

"Harrison, don't set your hopes too high." Roxanne chuckled, "I go with the flow. Even if you make me happy every day, I won't necessarily kiss you."

She was not the kind of chick who was always head over heels in love. As for smooching, if a girl did it too often, guys got fed up too. She needed to play it cool and control the number of times she smooched him, so he'd keep falling for her.

Roxanne's joy and good vibes for the day came to an abrupt end the following morning.

The next morning was a total train wreck. Early in the morning, Oliver tore up the court summons for his divorce proceedings with Chloe right in front of everyone in the company.

After ripping it up, Oliver tossed the scraps into Chloe's face. "Chloe, I've put up with you and you've been freeloading off the Lewis family for seven years. You think you can just divorce me?"

"How are you going to compensate for my loss in these seven years?" Chloe answered.

Chloe's face stung from the paper hits, but what hurt more was the anger. She had freeloaded off the Lewis family for seven years? In these seven years, not only did she bear Oliver's child, but she also took care of the family's needs.

When she was sick, she wanted Charlotte to help watch the kid and cook up some grub. But instead of lending a hand, Charlotte snitched on her to Oliver, calling her lazy.

Oliver once told her she was young and could shoulder the house chores. His mom had back and leg pains, so it was her duty to help with the housework and let his mom rest.

There were too many incidents like this.

She had put up with all this crap for the sake of their child, but after Oliver's domestic violence the other day, she couldn't take it anymore. If she continued to put up with it, she'd go bonkers.

Being a stay-at-home mom, asking Oliver for money, and being treated as a free nanny, she was done with it all. She didn't want to argue with Oliver either. It was exhausting.

With a calm demeanor, Chloe stated firmly, "Oliver, tearing up the summons won't do you any good. You still have to go to court. When the time comes, I'll present all the evidence of your domestic violence and your neglect of the child to the court."

Oliver scoffed, "You think if you tell me to go to court, I'll go? I can say I didn't receive the summons. I was not aware, and refuse to appear."

"You clearly received the summons." Chloe fumed.

"When did you see me receive the summons? If the court calls to ask, I'll just say I didn't get it. What can you do?" Oliver said.

"Oliver, don't be an ass. Be a man and deal with these things properly." Chloe said.

"Chloe, you can choose to divorce. But like I said before, if you want a divorce, you must pay back all the money I've spent on you over these seven years. Plus, you must compensate me for my loss of youth." Oliver said.

Chloe was shaking with rage.

Hearing all this, Roxanne, who had just rushed back, strode up to them and said angrily, "Oliver, have you no shame? Chloe had already paid off the down payment for the house before the marriage, she didn't even ask you to return the house, yet you're demanding compensation from her. Are you joking?"

Oliver arrogantly retorted, "You say Chloe paid the down payment, fine. If she did, do you have proof? If you can provide proof, I'll give the house back to her."

Speaking of the house made Oliver very angry. The day he committed domestic violence, Chloe had changed the locks without his knowledge and rented the house to a butcher from the market.

The butcher was so fierce that no one dared approach him.

Each time Oliver tried to collect rent, he'd be chased away with a knife.

Oliver gritted his teeth and said, "Chloe, don't think I'll be scared because you rented the house to someone else. I'm going to sell the house and you won't get a penny from it. Also, you need to repay all the expenses I've incurred in supporting you for these seven years, a hundred thousand dollars will do. You must also return the two hundred thousand dollars you swindled from my mom, and the kids will live with me. Furthermore, I want you to compensate me for the loss of my youth in these seven years, that’s two hundred thousand dollars. Also, for child support, you need to pay me another two hundred thousand dollars. A total of seven hundred thousand dollars. As long as you meet these conditions, I'll agree to divorce you."

Roxanne had never seen such a shameless man.
